Well if you really can see the *spring* for the bolt catch something is wrong. The spring should be installed down in the hole and the detent is on top of the spring. There is no way you could see that spring if it's installed correctly.


In fact, I just looked at 3 AR's and there isn't even enough room under the bolt catch to see the detent, let alone the spring.


And if you can't manually push the bottom of the bolt catch and at least make it move there is something way wrong.  You should be able to push it and the spring/detent should push it back.


Afraid there is something wrong under the bolt catch in the hole or the way the spring is installed..
